This was found at an estate sale in the Chicago area. There was a vintage ball rack with it also. I had to disassemble it to get it home. After some light restoration I reassembled and got it hung on the wall.
Garden City Billiard Table co is on the top. I suspect that that was added from a previous owner.
There was a company in Chicago with that name in the late 1800's but there is not much info about it.
Brunswick made nearly identical racks as this so I figure it was made by them after the turn of the century.

Thanks Lou, I found another one a year ago that's quite old too, it was just 8 miles away from where I live. It was crazy because I live in a pool desert. That rack was in great shape and made by Bott Brothers billiard supply out of Columbus Ohio. It is also from the late 1800's. Sorry about the large pics my resizing game is in a slump.
